Money revenue.

They will be back.

If anything we will see more options next year

As cool as they were (and they were), I just wish we'd go to a green helmet with a white SOW and be done with it. The Oregon/Oklahoma State fad that thinks you have to have a new helmet every game is getting old IMHO.

I really hope this doesn't mean we're never wearing them again. I'd be pissed

They would not have used these helmets again anyway. They are the green helmets that they wore all season with the aforementioned wraps on them.

Can we get minis of the alternate helmets used? I would love to get one of these, but there are several reasons that I may not be able to get one. Plus, I already have a mini helmet collection going and these would be great to add to my collection.

On a related note, would love to see the historic mini helmets that we have worn available for purchase in the Apogee store. I would really love to be able to complete my collection as some others may want to do as well (or even start a collection for some).

Yes! Anyone know where I can get an "eagle through the hula hoop" mini? I am missing that one

I just hope they make them a more reasonable $200, instead of the over priced $300 last time...I wasn't willing to pay that, but would probably pay 2 bills...seems like everytime they do something they charge too much....$80 bucks at the Tower club...too much...$7 beers at HOD....too much...$300 helmets...too much....season tickets...about right. They should build the fan base a bit more before they start sticking to everyone...kinda like tuition IMO.

The 300 bucks was to recoup their actual cost. Yes, it's a chunk of change, but it really wasn't an effort to "stick it to everyone."

And UNT had nothing to do with the cost of refreshments at the Cotton Bowl.

There are some shortcomings over at the A.D., but I don't think the cost of these things are among them.

If we want to stay at the top level of classification we better get used to paying for it. I know not everyone can afford it, and I am in no way trying to cast aspersions on anyone who can't, but if we don't find enough people who have the extra money and choose to spend it on this, we are going to be in whatever the second lower classification is.

Also I believe the helmets are $300 each when the program buys them from the distributor, so they are in essence charging replacement cost.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
